It has already filled in the ruts in the drive. The snow makes me happy. Under it tired landscapes concede, errors disappear, and sin is borne under, the whiteness an absolute of infinite possible beginnings.<\/p>\n<p>The baby is still asleep and I wander about the house looking out of the windows. From the kitchen I can see the fields, which go on and on like a vast white sea glazed by sunlight. A pattern of weather has set in. The morning clears and we can watch the spot of sun breaking the gray surround. By early afternoon it closes in again and the gray becomes dotted with white as the snow begins to fail. When the snow is falling the temperature rises as high as 20\u00b0 but by late afternoon the sky clears and it drops again to zero.<\/p>\n<p>In these warm interludes I take the baby out. She walks over the crust while I break through and flounder in the drifts. It frightens me to imagine I will not be able to climb out of my own footshafts. There I will thrash and make deeper and deeper the cave I am creating, while the baby crawls away to freeze and die.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_151221\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/poetry\/7578\/new-delhi-in-winter-rohan-chhetri\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-151221\" class=\"wp-image-151221 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/chhetri.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/chhetri.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/chhetri-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/chhetri-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 62.5em) 67vw, 100vw\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-151221\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Carl Sk\u00e5nberg, <em>Vinterlandskap i skymning<\/em>, 1880, oil on canvas, 26 3\/4 x 49 1\/8&#8243;.
